About Us

Spiller & Spiller is a family-owned and operated law firm located in Jacksboro, Texas, practicing in and around Jack County, the North Texas area, and the entire State of Texas. The law firm was founded in 1986 by James M. Spiller and his son, David Spiller.

James M. (Jim) Spiller told David, “If you’re going to practice in a small town, you need to know a lot about a lot. You need to try to be able handle whatever problems walk through the door.” David took those words to heart, striving to competently and successfully represent his clients in virtually whatever dispute or claim that they may have.

The law firm later added Jim’s other son, Scott A. Spiller, in 1998. Jim practiced law in Jacksboro for a total of 52 years until his passing in 2011. Scott practiced with the firm until his passing in 2014.
